PNW Canine

I feel so lucky to have found this training team after nearly a year of meeting with “top” trainers in the Seattle area who were not able to equip us to handle our dog’s reactivity. Brianna and Garret are firm but fair. They used tools and concepts that we were familiar with as well as some ideas that hadn’t been introduced by other trainers. Their techniques are balanced. We’ve learned how to set our dog up for success and to hold him accountable. Since the initial board and train they have been more like coaches, helping us to work with our dog in our home and around real distractions and triggers. More...

Brianna has been an excellent coach and trainer for us! Although we didn’t feel fully prepared when our dog came home, Brianna stuck with us through our highs and lows. Our boy still has a long road ahead but we have made so much improvement since training with PNWC, and we feel confident with the tools and resources we have learned that we can handle any situation moving forward! All in all 5 stars for PNWC! More...

I can’t say enough good about PNW Canine. Brianna and Garrett are wonderful to work with and obviously care for dogs deeply. We have a Mini Aussie named Beans who was 8 months old when we found PNW. I wish we had found them sooner. Beans is very high energy and was under socialized, not to any fault of his. He went to Board and Train with Brianna and Garrett for five weeks that turned into six, Beans is special. They were always available for an update or progress report on how he was doing. Beans came home a much more attentive dog that is receptive to commands and really pays attention. It has been work and it still is. We have to work with him every day. It is exhausting at times but Brianna is always available for a pep talk or to let us know we are doing things right. We are still having our home training and it is going very well. I truly cannot say enough good about PNW. We even board Beans with them when we go on vacation. Thank you Brianna and Garrett. More...

My dog Scooby is much more confident than he was before board and train. We’re now able to walk past other people and dogs without him being too reactive on leash. Brianna and Garrett have also helped me to understand my dog better and his needs - not letting people pet him, and generally how to be a better advocate for him. They also have been beyond accommodating with his training schedule and responsive whenever I have a question. They really care for Scooby and his success! More...

Working with Garrett and Brianna was one of the best decision I've made for Djacal & Gucci. Djacal (GSD) and Gucci (dachshund) are both around 4 years old and struggling with reactivity, leash-pulling and constant barking. Our boys did a 4-week board and train and currently ongoing with private lessons. Now we're able to have guests over without Gucci's constant barking and go on walks with them by my side in a calm state of mind. The process wasn't easy, took a lot of time and effort, but it's worth it and it sure feels amazing to experience the transformation. The program isn't just for your dogs, you will also learn to become a better and more responsible dog owner. Big thanks to PNW Canine for giving us the solution and this magnificent experience!

Hands down, these two were amazing to work with! We sent Frank to train and board with Brianna and Garrett for three weeks as a five month old puppy. It broke our heart to leave him for so long, but the training he received in that amount of time was invaluable. He returned so well behaved, and the envy to all of our fellow dogs moms and dads. Frank became a champion of leash work, knowing when to leave his crate/enter or exit rooms, conquered stairs, and so much more. We both agree, PNW Canine is absolutely worth every penny! Highly recommend! More...

Garrett and Brianna at PNW Canine did an amazing job with our dog Oakley. He is a Mini Aussie and we did a 3 week board and train when he was 4 months old. At the time he pulled on the leash, did not like his crate and was very mouthy with us among a few other things. After the program he came back to us as a confident puppy who loved his crate, didnt pull on the leash and was not constantly trying to "herd" us.
We are so grateful we decided to work with Brianna & Garrett and are excited to continue to work with Oakley to build our bond and his confidence. More...

We could not be happier with the experience.

We rescued a 5 y/o Weim last April. We are experienced dog owners but really struggled with his anxiety and leash reactivity making our evening neighborhood walk stressful for all involved and making hikes on narrow trails just impossible.

Our dog responded very well to the trainers, and we really like the way they transition from the trainers to us as owners, teaching us what we need to know and checking in to make sure we are doing well. As a result we’re able to walk our dogs without the leash reactivity and other aspects of the training help our rescue to live his best life.

Thumbs up! More...

Garrett and Brianna at PNW Canine did an amazing job with our dog, Ollie! Our 1.5yr old aussiedoodle was extremely reactive to both humans and dogs that we encountered outside of our house (lobby of our apartment, outside, etc. ) and it got to a point where we were concerned about others safety. His fear and anxiety limited us from doing many “normal” activities, such as taking a walk around the neighborhood, without being dragged down the street. Through Garrett and Brianna’s 3-week board/train, they were able to successfully implement their behavioral modification techniques and taught Ollie how to be confident in not only himself, but also in us, as his pack leaders. They meticulously analyzed Ollie’s behavior every day of his training to properly pair him with the techniques and tools that would bring success to us all. And it wasn’t over after those 3 weeks! After the board/train, they made sure we fully comprehended the techniques and tools they had used to ensure that we could implement them properly at home. This was done during the 4x follow-up sessions where they travelled to our apartment to troubleshoot any real-world issues that arose during the days between the follow-up sessions. It’s clear that Garrett and Brianna genuinely care about what they do and are confident in the knowledge they demonstrate in their training. They are honest and kind people and we are so thankful for everything they have done for our Ollie and for us! Garrett and Brianna have truly changed our lives as Ollie can now live a more structured and relaxed life and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better to help train our dog! More...

We are SO HAPPY we went with Garret and Brianna! We checked out a few different trainers, and would pick them again in a heart beat. Our pup Rollo (1.5 year old Shar Pei) had some confidence and separation problems. After 2 weeks with Garrett and Brianna, we have noticed a HUGE difference with Rollo. What really stood out to me was the personal touch they give to each and every dog they work with. They know it's not a "one size fits all" type of deal, and they really went above and beyond to get Rollo comfortable with them, using different techniques, and taking the time to do so. The follow up sessions they offer have been incredibly useful as well! I think we the humans (Mom and Dad to Rollo) have learned just as much, if not more than Rollo, from Garrett and Brianna.
We both really trust them as Trainers, and also really liked the facility they use. We plan to continue working with Brianna and Garrett as needed, and to use their boarding facility for future needs!

Thank you so much Brianna and Garret! You've helped to make Rollo a more confident and happy dog, and us to be more confident owners!! More...

Working with Brianna and Garrett has been fantastic! They trained at a speed that worked for my dog and worked on finding methods that he responded to. They're great about communication and are always just as thrilled by your dog's progress as you are! They make the training fun and easy to understand for both you and your pup! More...

Working with PNW Caninr has been great. Training my dog in his home environment was key for me. I appreciate the trainers at PNW Canine because they listen and provide feedback through training that works! I would highly recommend them!

Garrett and Brianna are great. They’re personable, professional, and great w/my dog Kimo. They work with you and your dog’s needs at a pace that’s right for your dog. They’ve given me more confidence and my dog Kimo listens to me! More...

Garrett and Brianna are awesome! We are very satisfied with the progress our 6 month old mini-golden doodle ...Harley Rose has made. She is well on her way to be a well behaved family member. More...
